Brighten Their Future

Brighten Their Future

Winter is here. It’s a time for celebration, love and spreading joy and hope.

Help us #BrightenTheirFuture this holiday season by supporting the work of SB OverSeas with refugee children, women and young people in Lebanon and Belgium:

~ Support the activities and workshops we do with refugee youth in Belgium, donate to the SB Espoir project by purchasing a hand-painted paperweight.

~ Support our campaigns and projects that fight against early marriage, purchase a doll hand made by the refugee women and youth in our empowerment programme in Lebanon.

~ Support our volunteer programme that brings together motivated young people from around the world to our centres in Lebanon and in Brussels, purchase a holiday greeting postcard.

~ Support the cost of materials and equipment for the empowerment programme at our centres in Lebanon, purchase a bag hand made by the women and youth in this programme.

Our catch-up schools provide educational opportunities for refugees who have no alternatives (Education). We partner with other charities to send clothing, footwear, toiletries, medical supplies and food to some of the most deprived camps in the Middle East (Safety). We operate centres with open-access training schemes, literacy and crafts programmes and life-skills courses to help women and teenage girls find ways to support themselves independently (Inspiration).

This doll is a symbol of the work we do empowering young girls with our education programmes in the fight against the creation of a “lost generation.” By providing catch-up school accessible to young girls, we are providing them hope for a future that doesn’t resort to early marriage.

The dolls are also made by refugee women and youth in our empowerment programmes in Lebanon, and the donation will support providing materials needed to continue these workshops.

This hand-painted paperweight symbolises the stability and safety that we aim to provide though our SB Espoir project with refugee youth in Brussels.

SB Espoir runs activities and workshops with refugee youth in three accommodation and reception centers in Brussels that focus on the themes of empathy, empowerment and equality. Our weekend project promotes inclusion and brings together the youth with our diverse group of highly-motivated volunteers.

These handmade bags are made by the refugee women in our empowerment programmes. The workshop programmes include sewing, knitting, embroidery, accessories, doll and bag making. After the end of the six-month course, the participants are given a certification of participation.

The vocational training workshop goal is to help the women refugees to be productive, to help themselves by gaining self-esteem and help their families.
